On behalf of Hon Carmel Sepuloni, thank you for your email on 14 November
2021, requesting information under the Official Information Act 1982.

 

The Minister is not aware of any past, current or planned future work in
her portfolios with regards to the definition or use of the term ‘social
licence’. As such, the Minister suggests clarifying your request and
providing further details about what you are seeking in regard to the term
“social license”.

 

If you do not refine your request within 10 working days, your request may
be refused under section 18(f) of the Act as substantial manual collation
would be required to locate and search all documents held by the Minister
to determine whether they relate to the use or definition of “social
license”.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or 0800 802 602.

 

Ngâ mihi,

Jess
